​Check Network Connections (netstat)

You can install and run netstat in Windows Server 2012 and later. The netstat command can be used to display active TCP/UDP connections, listening ports, Ethernet statistics, and IP routing tables.

You can find more details about netstat in this article: netstat

The following example PowerShell commands can be used to help diagnose network issues:

  • ​​List active TCP connections and all TCP and UDP listening ports: netstat.exe -a
  • ​​List active TCP connections and TCP (only) listening ports, and include the application PID: netstat.exe -a -p tcp -o
  • ​​Display the IP routing table: netstat.exe -r
  • ​​Display Ethernet statistics for bytes sent/received, packets, discards, and errors: netstat.exe -e
Note:​Ethernet counters are useful to monitor byte and packet counters across test runs, and to check for dropped packets (discards) or any errors on the interface. See ​Low Receive (RX) Performance and/or Discarded Packets for tips on resolving discarded RX packets.
